Could this be used as a closed air scrubber meaning it doesnt lead out to a external location..
My closet can be vented into the crawl space but I'd rather not drill any holes thru walls
Im gonna try this & see anyway

Yes, it can be vented back in to the room. Scubbed air is scrubbed air is scrubbed air.... However, you do not want to keep recycling the same air around the room, that will suffocate the plants eventually. Think of a person with bad breath being locked in a closet, you have an air scrubber in there to filter out his bad breath but his carbon dioxide keeps getting pushed around the room, eventually the bastard will die.
I am sure you will figure something out to get fresh air moving in and out.

Wouldn't the inline fan have to be at the bottom of the filter? Mounting it at the top, it would pull air into the chamber, but it would not force it out. It would also pull air in from outside the filter as well, in the other direction.
I like using that inline duct fan, but it has to be between the grow room area and the filter, to move the air towards and through the filter.

doesnt matter if its at the bottom or top only the direction of flow. as long as it pulls air OUT of the space you want scrubbed and thru the filter. thats how he has it set up from what i can see.
